    If you've got the most recent issue of ESPN the Magazine-- with Steve Francis and Destiny's Child on the cover-- make sure to check out page 44. It contains a very nice little blurb about clutchcity.net.

    We figured that if ESPN needed to name drop to increase its popularity, it was welcome to mention the site.

    Whew boy! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Had the mag sitting on my kitchen table and immediately zipped over there to read it. Damn cool of them to do this.

    Here's the text from the article for those who don't have the issue:

    <font color="#333333">ClutchCity.net. Houston, we have a home page. Rockets fans can come to ClutchCity and reload from now until June (well, April). So what if Hakeem is old and creaky? Here, he's still the Dream. Clutch has blunt game recaps ("Jason Collier showed he has a pulse"), obscure trivia ("Who did the Rockets pick third in '83?"), tasteful wallpaper selections and a hot new historical database.

    Like most fan sites, ClutchCity grinds the gears a little. Quotes from the Rockets' trainer? A draft-lottery extra called "Quest for Some Balls"? A column about growing up near a sheep pasture? But make no mistake, this site's MO is quite different from say NBA.com's: "No money exchanged, no bosses to impress, no asses kissed." Word.</font>
